Last month a delegation from Brazil and led by Si Gung Leo Imamura(10G VT) went to NY to attend the anniversary of the Moy Yat Clan Leader , Mrs. Helen Moy.

Thanks to the efforts mainly by Si Baak Anderson Maia and Si Sok Leonardo (both 11G VT members from Belo Horizonte.) An amount of books in a limited edition in English about Dr. Leung Jaan were printed.

Si Sok in front of the table with about 70 copies of his notorious book, the fruit of extensive research on Leung Jaan's background, perhaps the greatest icon of Ving Tsun beyond the own founder and Ip Man

On this occasion, the Brazilian delegation had the chance to see closely the stones of the "Ving Tsun Kuen Kuit".

In the picture we see Si Sok Leonardo Mordente(11G VT)completely immersed to observe one of the stones. As much as you are 12 years old and has just won a Playstation 3 ,the emotion would not be the same.

On the far left is Si Sok Domenico and beside my Si Fu. Si Baak Anderson is more deeply with his camera recording everything, and according to Si Gung Baak Lester(10G VT): "Master Anderson is a very nice person who is always with a camera around his neck."

My Si Fu always speaks with great admiration about the Mo Gun of Si Baak Gung Miguel Hernadez. And on the pictures we see the "why. "

Si Gung Leo Imamura was on this pic starting the Ceremony to add the Saam Jiu Paai on the Saam Toi of his Si Hing Miguel. A Jiu Saam Paai (held in the hand right in photo). Following the recomendation of his Si fu Moy Yat some years ago.

In Chinese culture, reverence for ancestors, who comes before you, is a major reason for an artistic expression as Ving Tsun is not lost in time. Maintaining links with the past and future, a Si Fu ensures that the "chain link" is not to misrepresent the break in his generation.

This photo is very special. Si Gung embraces his Si Hing Miguel Hernandez after handing him a document that Si Taai Gung had given to him, where there is a sketch done of Moy Yat himself's hands on the composition of Saam Toi, and a photo of Si Taai Gung in front of the old Saam Toi of "Moy Association"of New York.

This stone is interesting because it is written the name of Si Taai Gung Moy Yat on it. It turns out that he adopted his Kung Fu name "Moy Yat" with such care that not many people know that this is not his real name.

The Chinese Culture simplified this issue with symbolic gestures. For example: My grandfather was always making biscuits for me on Sundays afternoons. And we ate these food accompanied by Coca-Cola or coffee. Following the Chinese logic, if I were visiting the grave of my grandfather, would willingly that I would bring: coffee, coke or biscuit recipes. And almost make a picnic of it and remembering his stories.

This act also includes things to burn that will reach your ancestor through the smoke. Thus, one of the most amazing acts that I witnessed in these photos was the idea of burning Leung Jaan´s book, . Understand, the book is material,when the smoke spreads , has no longer a body, fills the air. And yet, if Si Taai Gung was alive for sure the book would be shown to him, so it was natural in a symbolic logic.

Already in Philadelphia, home of the "Fresh Prince", Si Fu poses in front of the Mo Gun of Si Baak Gung Pete, where posters Paula Gama(12G VT) and Master Ursula(11G VT) are displayed in the doorway. What to us is a great honor.
But let's skip to another part of the trip ....

Another possibility with me, I would be arrested for attack public property, since I certainly figure out a way of being with a black jacket and throw a helmet on a motorcycle as Sly did in ROCKY III after the death of Micky.
